1Another unbeaten, Missoula, Mont., native Lloyd Woodard, showed off some stellar takedown defense en route to a second round-stoppage win in his quarterfinal matchup against Carey Vanier, moving his record to 11-0.

Vanier did land an early slam that shook the cage and brought the Shreveport crowd to its feet. However, Woodard’s sprawl was otherwise brilliant, shutting down repeated Vanier shots. Woodard closed the first frame with an uppercut that had Vanier reeling.

The end came quickly in the second, as Woodard cracked Vanier with a short left hook that crumbled him. Vanier got up when Woodard went for a kimura, but “Cupcake” stayed on him and caught him with a rush of punches and knees that put the Greg Jackson product back on the mat. Woodard pounded away until Copeland saved Vanier just 46 seconds into the round.
